Frank Doorhofs Digital Classroom is sponsored by BenQ & Rogue.

This is a live, interactive, free, online broadcast from our studio in Emmeloord. And this time the topic of the live shoot is:

How to photograph your musical instrument

This episode is all about photographing musical instruments. Frank will show you the steps into product photography and more specifically, photos of guitars. For some music fans, photos of guitars can be a work of art.

Did you know there are photographers specialized in taking photos of electric guitars? Most of them work for magazines, music websites or manufacturers. That is a niche market, right? The Berlin Philharmonic orchestra even used macro photographs in 2012, taken inside the cramped space of instruments making the inner works of a violin, cello, flute an organ appear vast and spacious.

It starts with the idea, think about your camera settings, studio lighting, background, extra props and of course the retouch.

How do you get that astonishing clarity and level of detail if you look in the picture at high resolution? How many pictures do you take and what light do you use? Continuous of flash?

You will see Frank setting up and metering the lights and taking the shot. Frank will also show you some tips and tricks in Photoshop how to give your image that extra pop. See what presets and plugins Frank uses to get more special effects.

Because we have several cameras in the studio you can see the whole setup. We zoom in when Frank takes the shot and show you via “picture in picture” the results. We also improved our desktop resolution so you can now see better which settings he uses when retouching.

And the best thing is you can talk to Frank & the crew LIVE in the chat on YouTube or Facebook.

During the digital classroom, it’s also possible to send in your portrait pictures and Frank will critique them. Mail them to [email protected]

In today’s episode of Behind the closed DOORs I take you through my first opinion on using the iPad Pro 11” for a professional workflow for both photography and video editing, I show you what I use for getting the files on the iPad and the software I use for editing.

This is a pretty rough vlog but I will upload more vlogs and reviews the further we are with testing.
